Item Description
More than 90 species of Paphiopedilum (pronounced paf-ee-oh-ped-i-lum) are found in nature from the high hills of northern India to the lowlands of the Philippines and New Guinea.
They are magnificent orchids and both the species and the hybrids have always formed a major part of good collections.
They have a fascinating array of colours and forms and their ease of culture has attracted lifelong admirers.
All Paphiopedilum are characterised by both a cup-like lip called the pouch, which gives them the common name of lady slipper, and a prominent dorsal sepal.
The plants are mostly terrestrials, although some, like Paphiopedilum lowii may be found growing epiphytically, (on trees) or lithophytically, (on rocks) They are dwarf to moderate sized with leaves that are stiff, waxy or leathery and range from a glossy green to beautifully mottled. The leaves usually form a fan-shaped tuft.
An erect stem, bearing one or more flowers, arises from the centre of each new growth.
Some species can produce up to six flowers on each stem. The flowers are from 2" to 5" across in a variety and mixture of colours and may last perfectly on the plant for six weeks or more.
